EMR Workspace failed to start error

Question

Hi,

Looking to confirm how things work!

- I have created a EMR cluster with ec2 which closes down after no use
- I have created a EMR Studio using the terraform module: `terraform-aws-modules/emr/aws//modules/studio`

Set via:

```
module "emr_studio_iam" {
  source = "terraform-aws-modules/emr/aws//modules/studio"
  name                = "studio-module"
  auth_mode           = "IAM"
  default_s3_location = "s3://dev-emr/studio"
  create_service_role = true
  service_role_name = "studio-module-role"
  vpc_id     = data.aws_vpc.this.id
  subnet_ids = [data.aws_subnets.intra.ids[0], data.aws_subnets.intra.ids[1], data.aws_subnets.intra.ids[2]]
}
```

When trying to create a workspace in the EMR Studio I get the error:

```
Workspace manual-workspace failed to start
Workspace(notebook) is stopped. Service Role does not have the required permissions. You are not authorized to perform this operation. Encoded authorization failure message:
```
Im confused with the docs as theres references notebooks but nothing about workspaces for permissions.  its only studio.  I take it that notebooks was the old way of doing things? But im not clear about how we are meant to do it now? OR what permissions i should set the studio role (Then again is it the service or the user role thats got the problem!)

Any insight would be welcome!

Accepted Answer

Hello,

Thank you for writing on re:Post.

I see that you are facing issues while setting up your EMR Workspace.

As it is failing with below error -
Workspace manual-workspace failed to start
Workspace(notebook) is stopped. Service Role does not have the required permissions. You are not authorized to perform this operation. Encoded authorization failure message:

There should be an encoded message which can be decoded to find the missing permissions. Please decode by using the below command from aws cli-
aws sts decode-authorization-message --encoded-message

Then you can add the missing permission on the Service Role.

Below documentation should help you in getting the required roles for the service role.

Please try the above suggestions. Hope they improve your experience.

Thanks and have a great day!
